Square Enix continues to impact handheld console sales, during its release in 2011 PS Vita has been deemed as a huge disappointment to many gamers and executives across top gaming industries. Lately however, PS Vita sales have been jumping and so have purchases of vita games across retail stores. One helping hand is Square Enix which released Final Fantasy X-X2 for the PS3 and the PS Vita. Nintendo 3DS also has been solid with Bravely Default continuing to top sales charts. Let’s take a closer look how Square Enix has impacted the handheld world.
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.
Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.
Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.
It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.
A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.
People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers
Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.
I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.
The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷♂️
Square's selfish and greedy desire for iOS has done nothing but hurt the handheld and console market by denying them their games.
"with further plans to release high quality rpg games for the PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS."
i'v heard of explorers, but did they say they were working on games for the vita?
I think the title should be:
"SE games help spark 3DS & mobile sales"
Because so far SE only released five games for vita:
- Army Corps of Hell
- Lord of Apocalypse (multiplat with PSP, japan only)
- FF X & X-2 remaster (multiplat with PS3)
- Million Arthur (multiplat with mobile, japan only)
No FF Type-0, no KH, no Dissidia, no Front Mission, no DQ, etc for vita. Personally i don't count that as "helping".
Vita's lack of square-enix exclusive is one of its main problems, if it had an exclusive Kingdom Hearts like 3DS or if X/X2 had been Vita only the thing would be selling al ot better
